Your new phone uses Nano size sim card.

Not necessary
What is the name of your provider? On sim card or sim card holder.

Bell

There is a way out.

Customer Replay

go for it

author

Bell service center can replace your micro sim card for Nano sim card and save your current phone number

Customer Replay

would the old card not be obsolete

author

For this you need either call them/email them and get instructions what to do or you can visit their Service Centre if they have one in the vicinity of your location.

Customer Replay

I am unble to walk so going to a service center is not an option

author

Yes, it is obsolete and support specialist can replace it for a new one that will fit your new phone

Customer Replay

OK i will give it a try

author

Sorry to hear that. Then you can provide me your location and I will search for any possible contacts with Bell Service center.

Customer Replay

I will just see if Amazon sells nano sim cards. Might be the most efficient way
